43Question: When does my desire (need) turn into a request?

Answer: The desire that resides in the heart is the request. It needs no additional means to become one. I do not take my desire out of my heart, put it into an envelope, and mail it to the Creator.

The desire present in my heart is instantly received by the Creator because the Creator and I dwell together within that heart. Whether I want it or not, the Creator is present within me.

With the help of the surrounding light, I consciously, through my own free choice, gradually correct my desire so that each time it is felt more acutely, becomes more precisely directed toward the goal of life, and no longer turns aside toward the many false goals on which I do not wish to waste my life.

The surrounding light helps me direct my desire toward the right target, toward itself. The surrounding light is the source of a unique frequency, and I want my heart, like a radar, to tune in only to that transmitter, to receive only the source of those waves and no other.

There are millions of other frequencies all around me that could influence me, but I want to tune in only to this one special wave. How can this be done? By means of that same surrounding light: I want it to create within me the need for itself.

272Why was the Torah given to us? To bring us to action.

What is meant by “action”? A person’s soul consists of 613 parts, and from the very beginning, all of them exist within us in an uncorrected state. We must correct each one of them; this is called fulfilling the 613 counsels (Eitin in Aramaic).

Each time we correct one of the 613 parts of the soul, it receives the light corresponding to that particular part of the Kli. Then we are granted the 613 commandments, or deposits (Pekudin in Aramaic), which are deposits of light.

In other words, we correct the vessels and fill them with lights; we do so for all 620 parts of the soul (613 commandments plus the seven commandments of the sages). This is what is called an action. The Torah, study, and our efforts are all intended to bring a person to this action.

Afterward, we are granted the receiving of the Torah. The Creator is the all-encompassing light that fills the soul with infinity. Through this, the Kli (vessel) comes to perceive what the Creator is, because without a Kli, perception is impossible. The Torah is that very same light, which is divided within the collective soul into 613 parts or 600,000 parts, the distinction is not essential. The correction of each individual part is called a commandment.

Thus, Israel, the Torah, and the Creator are one. This state reaches its complete realization at the end of correction: first, the Kli becomes aligned with the particular light filling each of its individual parts; then, upon attaining the general correction, it becomes aligned with the all-encompassing light. This is the final state expressed in the words: “Israel, the Torah, and the Creator are one.”

962.3Question: Can a person rely on their intuition when developing the sixth sense?

Answer: I do not think that this sense is strong enough to be relied on. Look at our intuition. What do we come to with all our intellect? To complete destruction.

In other words, we cannot follow intuition or even our science if we want to attain the upper world and to achieve spiritual development.

What does “spiritual” mean? It means experiencing eternity and perfection, and being filled with to be full of strength, knowledge, and potential. To be like the Creator means living in eternity and perfection. We cannot come to this by means of our intuition. Our intuition consists of sensations and conclusions that cannot even be analyzed, they are merely vague feelings.

All this is based on purely animal experience, animal drives, and on animal intellect that cannot comprehend anything beyond what lies a few meters ahead. We cannot find the spiritual path based on this.

The spiritual realm is something completely different that involves sensations unlike any we know. The sixth sense, the soul and its laws, and the reality revealed within it, have absolutely nothing to do with our intuition.

The sixth sense exists in everyone, and if a person feels an urge to develop it, sensing a Hisaron (lack or yearning) for it, then there is a specific method available to develop it.

938.07When a person begins to study [Kabbalah], he suddenly discovers every time that they see new things in what we study. And this will always be the case.

Suppose you are sitting and reading an article right now, and I am sitting and reading the article, and then you ask me: “Well, can you tell me something?”

Why do I tell you more than you know? Because I read and see a bit more deeply than you. At the same time, I cannot transmit to you what I feel, and so I tell you in other words what I see.

For you it is open to a certain depth; for me it is open much deeper, and there are those for whom nothing at all is revealed. They may read the same article, but feel no reaction in the heart because they have no spiritual Kli, while yours is already beginning to form.

So what is the difference? The difference is that when I speak to you, I give you a bit of light from the depth where I am, and this helps you. In addition to the surrounding light that you awaken during the study, I also add from myself.

But the group can also add to you. Each one understands according to a certain depth because no one here is a random person off the street. There are those who are truly in a good, sensory understanding.

Therefore, when we study together with the intention of passing the incoming light to one another, these surrounding lights from each of us unite and act upon everyone. Do you understand what kind of amplifier of spiritual power there is here?

And it does not matter if each one knows very little, some more, some less. Even if I am here, and you know less than I do, each of you has his own root of the soul. So I enjoy this. From the inclusion of one in another, I receive an addition because there are things that, without you, I will not understand, and without this one, and without that one even though you might be a “0.001 compared to my 1 followed by some zeros.” It does not matter. Every person is unique.
